Wow a new kid on the block. This looks really nice.

It may be quality but at 150Euros its not my Idea of affordable

Seems a strange choice concidering that Racer's lovely Fiat 500 is already out there.
I guess the limited edition of 99 will all find buyers because of the Lorenzo/Spanish theme.

 

[not alone after all]

Don't look like 150euros worth to me I'm afraid. Need better detailed pictures I think.

 

[Wankel Ickx]

Crikey. Affordable to who? Not I. Mind, I think I can safely state I will never purchase a Fiat 500 in any scale you care to mention. Uh, uh.

Interesting mix of real cars used to illustrate the pages of their website. I wonder if any will be in their pipeline?

First we have one new manafacturer (Slot LCS) make claims of "quality" on a very amateur looking attempt, now one that claims "affordability" with a 150 euro slot car !
Has babelfish slipped up with spanish translation recently

Does look nice though

It certainly looks the part. And the presentation looks all class. If I had an infinite number of monkeys turning out best sellers for me I'd be more than tempted to give one a try. Looks faster than the VLine I'm more familiar with (they ran trains... full sized ones).

Around £130. A bit OTT if you ask me. For a new kid on the block. They should start off with a well-made car at around £30/40. Then when established, go for a limited ed at £130

That's the VLine I remember too Ember ... Orange & Grey S and T Class diesels.

Seriously though, a nice looking car ... just a little too pricey for me.
